[Intro]
C G/B Am G D/F# Em D/F#
G
[Verse 1]
G Em C G
Allow me to exaggerate a memory or two
Em
Where summers lasted longer than,
D
longer than we do
C Em Am Em
When nothing really mattered except for me to be with you
C
But in time,
D G
we all forgot and we all grew
[Chorus]
C Em Am Em
Your melody sounds as sweet as the first time it was sung
C G D
With a little bit more character for show
C Em Am
And by the time your father's heard of all the wrong you've
done
C G/B Am
Then I'm putting out the lantern,
G D/F# Em D/F# G
find your own way back home
[Verse 2]
G Em C G
If I'd forgotten how to sing before I'd sung this song
Em D
I'll write it all across the wall before my job is done
C Em Am Em
And I'll even have the courtesy of admitting I was wrong
C D G
As the final words before I'm dead and gone
[Chorus]
C Em Am Em
You've never been so divine in accepting your defeat
C G D
And I've never been more scared to be alone
C Em Am
If love is not enough to put my enemies to sleep
C G/B Am
Then I'm putting out the lantern,
G D/F# Em D/F# G
find your own way back home
